Who's been drinking this

If you're gonna have a Rainier, I'd suggest not chasing bad tequila with it.
Bottle
Different than the last time I logged this - maybe it was skunked back then. This just struck me more as a slightly watery, corn-flavored American lager. Inoffensive, but also unremarkable. And not worth $4 for a mason jar, unless you really need to assert your hipster cred.
The bartender claimed adding a slice of lime is called “Northwest Vacation.” I have now learned that I much prefer Rainier directly from a can, rather than on draft.
Unpleasant-smelling - musty, funky, combined with unexpected fruit, apple, maybe? - but not the skunkiest I've had this week. Flavor-wise, not bad. More complex than your average faceless mega-beer, but nothing special either.

Has a smell remini-scent of The 12th Can-- that sort of funky gym locker smell. Though a thin taste, its has a good bit of acidity to keep it interesting before finishing. Has a bit of fruit sweetness too, also present in the smell.

Yay beer?
